Description
This mural design concept for the Jayhawk Welcome Center celebrates KU, the student experience, and long-standing traditions through a collage of iconography that represents KU and the idea of "towering towards the blue." Iconography "towers toward the blue" by interacting with the sky in various ways. Examples of this includes a volleyball player reaching up to hit a volleyball; the KU flag waving in the sky; graduation caps being thrown into the air; newspaper being thrown up during a basketball game tradition; a student reaching up for a book; a dog reaching up for a TPE student; etc. Thus, the design captures multiple aspects of KU, from sports, to academics, to traditions, to KU symbols, and more. This mural concept is for a room that is used by KU Student Ambassadors, so the goal is to both honor the student experience and excite future students visiting the Jayhawk Welcome Center.
